Spain Aims to Secure Top Spot in UEFA Nations League Against Denmark

The highly anticipated UEFA Nations League match between Denmark and Spain is set to take place on Friday, November 15, 2024, at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark. The match kicks off at 8:45 p.m. local time, which translates to 2:45 p.m. ET, 1:45 p.m. CT, 12:45 p.m. MT, and 11:45 a.m. PT for fans in the United States[2][5].

Luis de la Fuente‘s Spain, currently atop League A Group 4 with 10 points, has already secured their place in the quarterfinals but is looking to clinch the top spot in the group. Spain comes into this match following a convincing 3-0 win over Serbia in their previous UEFA Nations League fixture. Despite missing key players such as Rodri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Carvajal, and Unai Simon due to injuries, Spain’s squad remains strong, with players like Alvaro Morata, Dani Olmo, and Pedri expected to lead the attack[2][5].

Denmark, under new head coach Brian Riemer, is in second place in the group with seven points and needs to win at least one of their remaining two matches to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. The Danish team will be without Joakim Maehle and Rasmus Kristensen due to injuries but can rely on experienced players like Kasper Schmeichel, Christian Eriksen, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, and Jannik Vestergaard[2][5].

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 2 in the United States, and fans can also stream it via Fubo, which is offering a seven-day free trial. Globally, the match will be available on various platforms, including Sony Sports Ten 1 SD and Sony Sports Ten 1 HD in India, and through live streaming on the SonyLIV app and website[2][3].

Historically, Spain has the upper hand in this matchup, having won 13 of the 17 games played between the two teams. The last meeting between Denmark and Spain ended in a 1-0 victory for Spain, courtesy of a late goal by Martin Zubimendi[3].
